An optimally designed six-phase induction motor (6PIM) is compared with an initial design induction motor having the same ratings. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) method is used for optimization and multi objective function is considered. Comparison of the optimum design with the initial design reveals that better performance can be obtained by a simple optimization method. Also in this paper each design of 6PIM, is simulated by MAXWELL_2D. The obtained simulation results are compared in order to find the most suitable solution for the specified application, considering the influence of each design upon the motor performance. Construction a 6PIM based on the information obtained from GA method has been done. Quality parameters of the designed motors, such as: efficiency, power losses and power factor measured and optimal design has been evaluated. Laboratory tests have proven the correctness of optimal design.

We propose a heat jet approach for a two-dimensional square lattice with nearest neighbouring harmonic interaction. First, we design a two-way matching boundary condition that linearly relates the displacement and velocity at atoms near the boundary, and a suitable input in terms of given incoming wave modes. Then a phonon representation for finite temperature lattice motion is adopted. The proposed approach is simple and compact. Numerical tests validate the effectiveness of the boundary condition in reflection suppression for outgoing waves. It maintains target temperature for the lattice, with expected kinetic energy distribution and heat flux. Moreover, its linear nature facilitates reliable finite temperature atomic simulations with a correct description for non-thermal motions.

A simple and straightforward method is introduced for developing continuum beam-rod model of a box-beam typed aircraft wing with composite layered skin based on "energy equivalence." The equivalent continuum structral properties are obtained from the direct comparison of the reduced stiffness and mass matrices for box-beam typed wing with those for continuum beam-rod model. The stiffness and mass matrices are all represented in terms of the continuum degrees-of freedom defined in this paper. The finite-element method. The advantage of the present continuum method is to give every continuum structural properties including all possible coupling terms which represent the couplings between different deformations. To evaluate the continuum method developed in this paper, free vibration analyses for both continuum beam-rod and box-beam are conducted. Numerical tests show that the present continuum method gives very reliable structural and dynamic properties compared to the results by the conventional finite-element analysis. analysis.

Rubber is used as a primary suspension component in a vehicle or a mechanical structure. The aim of this study is to establish a procedure for measuring the material properties of rubber and to analyze the differences of material properties of virgin rubber and heat aged rubber. The effect of mechanical conditioning was shown and included in the procedures of tensile. compression. simple shear. and pure shear tests. In addition. using engine oil was recommended for compression test in order not to have barrelling. Moreover, based on the material properties of vil·gin rubber and heat aged rubber. equations of C10 and IRHD were proposed as a function of heat aging temperature and time.

This paper provides the methods to estimate the burst pressures of the pipes with defects, based on finite element analyses. FE codes are frequently adopted for the simulations of the burst tests of the pipes with defects. However, those do not give the burst pressure directly. Because the post-processing should be followed; determination of the fracture strains in accordance with triaxialities, monitoring the strains of pipes, etc. In the present work, these efforts are implemented in the user subroutine UHARD within the general-purpose FE code, ABAQUS. Four fracture criterions are introduced to estimate the burst pressure of pipes, and a simple fracture strain estimate is also developed. FE analyses for the pipe with gouge and corrosion are performed, and the results are compared with the experiment results.

With a rapid development of neuroscience, the theories related to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia have been changed a lot from a simple hyperdopaminergic one to the various complicated ones. Among these, the theories regarding prefrontal cortex(PFC) pathology as a cause of schizophrenia are gaining more recognition as the results of neuroimaging and neuropsychological tests in schizophrenia consistently report abnormalities in PFC. Therefore, we first reviewed the unique characteristics of PFC in anatomy, neurochemistry and neurophysiology to enhance an understanding of those ones. Secondly, various neurotransmitter, neurodevelopmental and neural network theories of schizophrenia introduced recently were reviewed in terms of PFC pathology.

This paper presents a design and characteristics analysis of a SRM drive for EPS application. A conventional driving room space and mechanical structure are suggested in design stage. In the restricted design conditions, motor parameters are determined for sufficient torque and speed. For the smooth torque generation and simple circuit of power system, 12/8 motor drive is considered. With FEM and magnetic circuit analysis, designed motor is simulated to meet the requirement of specifications. Effectiveness of the suggested SRM drive for EPS application is verified by the manufactured prototype motor drive tests.

This paper describes a new method of detecting rotor position in switched reluctance motor(SRM), Some strategies of position sensorless control methods for the motor include the measurement of phase current and applied pulse voltage in an unexcited phase. The principle of the estimation of a rotor position is based on the detection of inductance by pulse currents. This sensorless method is very simple to compute rotor position estimation and gives efficient control of drive system. Suggested method is verified by some experimental tests.
